The two links in > my sig and bugzilla have documentation of such bizarre behaviors. This happened to me with LMS (or its predecessor, around v 7.3). That's why I ended up going that route. I have AlbumArtist tags on EVERYTHING and I would still have tracks and albums pop up as compilations. My circumstances did not split albums across folders (I don't use ITunes and it would drive me crazy). But, it was happening quite often. Now was there something else on my end causing the problem? maybe. This was right when I started with a Squeezebox of any type, and I was definitely cleaning up files and tags. Most of the files at the time were MP3's. I never saw a fix being implemented (successfully), so I just created an action in MP3Tag that forces comp=0 for all files I run through it, even as I have been working to put everything into FLAC format. So your bottom line statement is correct, of course. Heck I was criticized for using comp=0 then, but my reasons even met your reason, and I only mention it now because it did solve my issues and it can force a no compilation determination from the server if all else fails. Plus, it doesn't seem to hurt anything. On a side note, I work as a regulator for seismic and flood safety. We often recommend that people put redundant measures in place for safety because it all but assures safety. I guess I always felt that the comp=0 tag was a nice redundancy for the album artist tag. Afterall, I am still amazed at how many software and hardware still don't recognize Album Artist as a tag. emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110204 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
Re: [SlimDevices: Ripping] Replay gain on whole collection, or not?
I do think care needs to be taken as some software gives the option of actually adjusting the levels in the file? I don't recommend that option, but watch out for it. It is a permanent change that it would seem rare that someone would want (at least in this day and age). I suspect it was more useful before RG tags became more widely supported. For instance, I use MediaMonkey, and it gives options for applying levels not just analyzing/tagging. Anyway, I just mention it so that anyone new to the process applies a little caution. Now in terms of processing 24k+ files, I probably wouldn't do it all at once. I would test it out on a few albums to start with and investigate how it works; understand what the process is. I know most of us that have done this know what it is, but it's worth understanding. I would then process on larger batches of files in a method you can keep track of. I had about 15k tracks at the time I did it, and my computer would hang up on trying to queue up more than 1,500 tracks. Of course that was 10+ years ago, but I think a lot of software get hung up with a large queue, and if you get a crash, it can be hard to figure out how far along your process got. It ended up being a little easier to just go through 10 to 50 albums at a time and know exactly where I was at. emalvick's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35382 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110369 ___ ripping mailing list ripping@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping

Thanks garym - and kidstypike (who posted while I was very slowly typing
my previous post).
Okay, so you MIGHT have to install the ReplayGain component first in
foobar2000 before my instructions work (File->Preferences->Components),
though I think it is default included?
My component is called ReplayGain Scanner 2.3 (foo_rgscan). And its

I assume -libebur128- means it is the R128 version BJW talks about.
